Amazing school with amazing people! So lucky to have found this gem! Recently moved to Tumalo from Santa Barbara and this school is exactly what we were looking for! We switched to Tumalo from a terrible private school in the same town and our kids (ages 5, 9, and 11, three girls) are thriving beyond belief!Thank you Tumalo!

My child has been at this school since 6th grade and she is currently in 7th. So, far we hadn't had any issues until my child was sorted into a particular math class. She used to love going to school and learning but now every morning she's sobbing about how she doesn't want to go because of her horrendous math teacher. Time and time again this teacher have made a point about singling out only my child before, during and after class over the smallest mistakes on her math work. At first, I just thought maybe this teacher was a little stricter than others until my daughter came home with tears streaming down her face. Why you ask? This teacher for three days straight kept my child in her classroom all but berating her over minimal mistakes on homework or tests (I've checked and have a PhD in math, so I know a thing or two) and kept her in the room for the entirety of her lunch break. When my daughter brought this concern up to said math teacher, the teacher who was supposed to be the bigger person told my preteen daughter she was being passive aggressive and didn't deserve her lunch break. What if that had been her only chance at a hot meal? for three days she was forced to skip eating lunch. When I brought this up to admin, they said this was in purview of the teacher in charge of the class. Do yourself a favor and avoid this middle school like the plague, they'll starve and bully your children!

I had twins boy here that graduated last year. Covid started in their Freshman year. Overall, I think the school did a good job in handling this unprecedented situation. Its my boys that ranked the school and I would agree. Its a beautiful campus, overall good teachers and education. My complaints would be things that the school cant control-Counselor getting pregnant and leaving mid-year, COVID issues, etc. My only real poor comment would be that I did NOT appreciate the NO SUPPORT for the Military as a career. ALL Schools need to leave their politics and personal views at the door when they enter and just "educate" our students on ALL opportunities. My son ended up the ONLY one to go into the Army. He was told he could not wear the GO ARMY sash when he walked at graduation, yet there were students wearing Mexican Flag sashes, Pride Sashes, etc. And while I never believe in unsurping the schools authority, this time I supported him to wear it as he wanted-and he proudly did. We specifically moved from Summit High School district to go to this school, and I am glad we did.
